Ravi Agrawal on FP’s Summer 2025 Print Issue

There is no doubt that if the American semester Donald Trump II appears to be a revolution, then this is the design. As long as it dates back to 2018, Steve Bannon, the chief strategy simultaneously in Trump, spoke about how “the White House will immerse the area with disgust” to overcome the media. The new Trump team sharpened the old flood plan in the art For allies who were treated like enemies and dictators like friends.

Iron mind. How should a person understand Trump 2.0? Critics often publish one of the two arguments to think about it. The first is to summon Trump unprecedented, as if somehow Sui Generis. Although every leader of its kind is at some point, I am facing the idea that Trump alone is unbearable. It should also be noted that he created our reactionary times as much as the most formation person. If our time is in reverse globalization – globalization, against commercial and open borders, against ethnic and sexual equality – Trump is just the man who told us what is happening, and not the person who has a better plan.

Trump’s second thought tends to rely on a historical similarity of some kind. Trump is Julius Caesar, a man who has become a life dictator for life for thousands of years, until his assassination. Or Trump is Mao Zaidong, who organized the wide cultural revolution in China. Closer to this day, Trump can be a strong man than a populist like Turkey Tayyip Erdogan or Nardra Modi in India. Or it could be the man who enters it in the code, such as Hungary Victor Urban. Trump also repeated through the history of the United States: He praised William McKinley’s tariff in the late nineteenth century and tried to simulate it, while his foreign policy is often compared-what I think-on Ronald Reagan.

All this is a great feed for discussion, as you will see in a package of covering this issue, “historical presidency”. We have recruited nine historians and thinkers to play Trump comparison game and contradict numbers in history, with some sudden results. Ramashandra atmosphereAnd a historian and a biography in Gandhi engineer found that Trump’s historical parallel was a man from our present: former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. “Through their artistic and deceptive way with words,” Jehr writes, “These vocal worlds were able to seduce people with a very different category.”

Kenneth RogeovThe Harvard University Professor and former Economists at the International Monetary Fund, Trump British Nixon, who blew up the global monetary system in the 1970s and directs Americans to a decade of inflation. Can it create uncertainty in a similar dynamic tariff?

Of course, we study mandatory signals to Caesar, who broke the law that limits his authority when he led a legion via Rubicon. This measurement, historian Donna Zuckerberg He writes, “He tells you more about the person who compares more than any of the leaders concerned.” When it was invoked from the left, she says, it indicates that Trump’s erosion is uncomfortable with the standards. But the right can be seen as ready to destroy a system that does not work.

I hope you enjoy the group, which takes comparisons from all over the world and that we hope will continue as a series.

Finally, a special male of provocation by the historian Christopher ClarkWho argues that “modernity disintegrates before our eyes.” Did civilization reach its climax? If it is right, this is an anxious idea. Once, I hope you will differ with an article we published.

As was the case,
